The statewide coronavirus vaccine-related mandate for the so-called mega-events indoors is in effect. The indoor events include arenas of professional teams, music venues, conferences, theaters with high seating capacity, and expos.
Locations such as The Forum and Staples Center in Los Angeles have already let fans know about the requirements that would apply to future events and games. Staples Center collaborated closely with health officials in California to thoughtfully and responsibly implement safety protocols for a safe and enjoyable experience for fans. At the same time, Staples Center is looking forward to offering spectators a reason for cheering and making unforgettable memories once again.
Under the new laws and regulations, guests must show a negative coronavirus test result from 72 hours before the event or vaccination-related documentation. The applicable forms of documentation include a Quick Response code, a vaccination card or an image of the card.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health does not allow the use of self-attestation to confirm an attendee’s vaccination status or their test result-related proof.
In August, Los Angeles County instituted a similar vaccination requirement, and it will continue to be in accordance with California’s measures. Kids aged below 13 years who are still ineligible for vaccination will also have to undergo COVID-19 tests.
Los Angeles County announced its plan to introduce a similar ordinance for mega-events with over 10,000 attendees outdoors from October 07, 2021, onwards. The ordinance will necessitate guests at indoor bars, nightclubs, lounges, and wineries to do the following, whereas their employees must get fully vaccinated on or before November 04, 2021.
- Substantiate their vaccination status with a valid piece of documentation; or,
- Show the negative results of their coronavirus tests.
